Hi Michel,

Feature or bug? Dunnow. You can access the source for the Taskpane and fix it. It should be in HOME()+"tools\xsource\xsource.zip". Unzip it for lots-o-goodies.

AFAIAC the author should have left the Status Bar how he found it.

[Update]
Seems I have found an acronym the site doesn't know about:
As Far As I Am Concerned

>>>Normally If SET STATUS is ON, the character-based status bar is displayed showing the name of the program currently executing (if any) the alias of the active table, the current record pointer position, the number of records in the table, and the state of the Insert, NumLock and CapsLock keys. The record or file lock status is also shown in the status bar when the table is opened for shared use. The status bar is updated each time you execute a command that changes status information.

>>>My status bar doesn't show anything. I wish to see the information in the status bar when I open a table. I try set talk on and some other command, nothing to do.
